I don't see that as hinting that he really needs the Jews to build a house for him. I don't think "where is the house?" is intended to shame them into building but rather saying "What house do you imagine I might need?" "The whole sky and land are mine and everything in them - why do I need a building and people serving me bread and animals?" | |

Worth reading H.G.M Williamson's introductory chapter in The Book Called Isaiah (OUP, 1994), if its accessible to you. My own sense is that the composition of Isaiah is a red herring here, but I can see why you've framed your answer the way you have. FWIW.... | |

Three is probably a lower limit on the number of original content authors, plus editors and redactors. Did the concept of "the end times" even exist in Judaism in the period during which Isaiah was written? When did that concept evolve? | |

Corrected the chapter span for trito-Isaiah.
